Axe CP for Beginners
 

Hi Guys,
I'm waiting for my Axe CP to arrive from Tower as the stock just refilled yesterday. I managed to get the unit for $175 after the $25 rebate from tower plus a $10 gift certificate. Truthfully, I am a complete and total noob when it comes to helicopters, their terminology, and so forth. Does anyone have a good site to learn some of this? I also ordered a whole slew of replacement parts to go along with the numerous crashes I'm likely to see. I see everyone posting about the battery situation. Which Lipo will give the best fly time and which charger will give me the best and easiest charging? I guess this is alot rolled up in one post...

There's already alot of good info about the Axe CP posted here in the Heli-max forum; just takes a little reading.

I read most of the postings and quite honestly did not and do not understand alot of the terminology... There was only two pages of info... Please don't think that I didn't read anything... Radd's guide is also helpful as I've found from many of the other postings but, dosn't tell me about the terminology that I'm unclear of and I was asking if anyone knew of any other sites...

Terminology? TERMINOLOGY? Did you say you want terminology!!!!

Try [link=http://www.helihobby.com/html/helicopter_dictionary.html]this.[/link]

More terminology than you can shake a stick at.[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

The page that links that dictionery page above is a good one to bookmark. Tons of info, both glow and electric.

I suggest that you read "The Electric Helicopter Beginner's Guide v17" by Toshiyasu Morita.

I am also a newb and it helped my a lot to understand the basics if helis
